I saw a northland gp38 on the lead of about6 passenger cars painted dark blue with a f40 also dark blue on the tail all in new paint. Anyone know what this is ? This was in north toronto on cn line near macmillian yard.

Interesting counting there, there were three cars.

There was talk of reviving the Northlander train from Toronto to Timmins before the last provincial election. Since then, not one peep about it.
